Proverbs 24:25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come on them. Whence comes this delight? 1. From the consciousness of having done rightly. 2. From the possession of public approbation, affection, and confidence. 3. From a sense of Divine approbation. 4. From the affection and complacency of all good men, and the grateful acknowledgments of those whose causes have been carefully, disinterestedly, and righteously investigated and determined; even those who fail having, notwithstanding, a testimony in their consciences to the soundness of principle, and the sincerity of the desire to do right, with which all has been conducted. (R. Wardlaw, D.D.)
